Notes:
This satirical map illustrated an article in the New York Times Magazine by Adam Davidson arguing that London had "surpassed" Wall Street as a center of global finance, primarily because of excessive American financial regulation. New York is shown beset by the "Thicket of Tough Rules" and "Litigious Hordes," as "Clouds of Paperwork" threaten. London sits in a "Sea of Simple Systems" and the "Bay of Better Banking," under the "Friendly Financial Skies" of Europe.
